Quessua Mission Presentation May 25th |
|
On Wednesday, May 25th at the Well, Icel Rodriguez will be at Lakewood to speak about the Quessua Methodist Mission in East Angola.
In the past, Lakewood has supported the Quessua Mission. The COVID-19 pandemic has created a food shortage in the area, and severe malnutrition in children under 5 years old has emerged as a devastating side-effect. Dr. Leo Garcia, a medical missionary supported by Florida United Methodist churches, has started a program to provide food for and regularly see these severely malnourished children.
We can help save these children's lives with a small donation of $50 to provide resources called Ready-To-Use Therapeutic Foods, which provide nutrients that will bring children back from the brink of starvation.
Please take a moment to read more information at the link below and consider donating to this critically important cause.
We will also have a boys clothing drive for ages 11 and under in Angola. We are accepting New or gently used Shirts, shorts, shoes (including sandals).
Deliver to the front office, Sue Blythe, or Michele Johnston

Ready to cook up some fun? Cokesbury’s Food Truck Party VBS invites children of all ages to get on a roll with God as a parade of Food Trucks rolls into their neighborhood for the summer’s biggest party!
This VBS invites children to pray as Jesus teaches us in Matthew 6:11; “Give us this day our daily bread.” These words serve as a reminder that everything we have comes from God — and that it’s by turning to God in prayer that all of our daily needs are met.
At the center of the Food Truck Party is a special food truck called “On a Roll.” Here, Kids (or “Chefs”) will learn from the food truck’s Top Chef, along with DJ Cupcake (an adorable cupcake puppet), about the Daily Specials (Daily Learnings), which are lines from the well-loved prayer that teaches us to turn to God to meet our needs.
9:00 am – 12:00 pm
$20 per child/ $50 Family Cap
All children who were 3 by September 1, 2021, through 6th graders are invited to attend.
